I have had many Busse/kin knives come and go. Most of them met their fate because I came to the conclusion that I'd never use them as they should be because of size or weight or practicality. I swore I'd be buried with my Force One, but when it came down to it... and I really wanted a Weber Grill... I came to the harsh reality that I'd never use a $600 8" tanto knife. I'm a user and abuser of knives. There's no room for pretty Safe Queens.

The one knife I regret letting go of though was my pumpkin SAR-8. It was beautiful. The fit and finish... The lines... the little grooves of its thumb ramp... the satiny smooth shape of its pommel... I vowed I'd get one again some day. Its Busse dog tag hangs on my Weber as a tribute to its sacrifice. If it had one fault I'd never admit out loud, it was that it was a little too long for me to ever really consider it a user. I had to face it. I'd never "go to" it on a regular basis... :( CHOPPING BLOCK

Enter: DUN! DUN! DUNNNNN!!! Pumpkin SAR-6 *Angels sing* AAWWW-AW-AAHH-AWWW" :D Perfect in ever way, size, shape and form. Now I will have that knife I long to get back, in a truly usable size.

Thank you Jerry Busse... And thank you Skunk. I will cherish the cat food, or corn pops, or belly button lint (times are tough) that you throw in upon packaging my grail!!

Sounds like a winner Adam it looks like it's got more belly and a longer handle than the BJ too. That combo is pretty sweet also. Congrats on your grail/xmas present. :thumbup:

Thanks! The boss jack was very close to what I was looking for prior to seeing the new SAR6.
 
Reach higher for a Grail. Grails are rare. Grails aren't seen. Grails are guarded by deadly bunnies.

Go for the SHBA on the 'bay or a BBSHSH or a SHBM or a GP Busse Field Knife. Aim higher. (It keeps the price of our collections up. LOL)

Ah fudge it. Buy what you want. :)

Nah, I hear ya. It is sort of modest in respect to your typical grail. What makes it a grail to me, are the elusive features I've yet to see on any other Busse. Its not rare, but a knife like it could not be found until now. To me, a grail wouldn't be some mystical knife I could only obtain by lofting a holy hand grenade, and then placed on a shelf once in my possession.

It would be a knife that came along and freed me from all other impractical knives purchases. A knife so perfect in design, that it would remove all desire for another knife (until the desire for another knife came along of course :D)

I had a SHSH Varient, and a Ruck, and an F1... but none of them did anything for me.
 
Your gonna love the SAR 6, had mine for a few days now and it does'nt want me to put it down so i can go to work.
 
Nice.

I actually chose a new grill over infi for Christmas this season!

I did not have any grill (have not had one since I moved, and chucked my old hibachi grill rather than moving it).
 
Haha! That I do. I get so many inquiries about the current one though.

Can anyone tell me how long it took to receive either your LE or SE sar6 after ordering it?

No. :mad:



N-O




We NEED a Folder, a SAR 46 would just be for bragging.



Anyway, nice pick up. ANY pumpkin SAR looks great and I wouldn't mind picking one up.

But that was before I saw the tequila sunrise that kinda matches my 1911 :D
